Welcome
Supply chains must be secured against any form of man-made and natural disruption. This certainly isn’t a new revelation. Some hundred years ago commercial shipping was threatened by pirates and renegades like Anne Bonny, Sir Francis Drake or Klaus Störtebeker, and so transport ships were equipped with cannons and crews ready for a fight. Today piracy as a ‘business model’ is enjoying a remarkable renaissance. It’s but one of many

    Logistics: Economics and Supply Chain

    In the 21st century, transportation systems will face significant challenges and problems because of global environment and the changing economic base in the United States. With combination of economic, technological, sociocultural, political, and biological factors. Many organizations developed demand-driven supply chains which could rapidly respond to change. Businesses and other organizations are striving to be more efficient (reducing their cost of doing business) and more effective (improving customer service) to survive in the new environment.

    Somali Civil War: Piracy Off The Coast Of Somalia

    Since the second phase of the Somali Civil War, which started in the early 2000’s, piracy off the coast of Somalia has been a great danger to international shipping. Starting in 2005, many international organizations, which include the International Maritime Organization and the World Food Program, have expressed major concern over the rising acts of piracy. Piracy has made trouble for the delivery of shipments and raised shipping costs, which have risen to an estimated 10 billion dollars a year in trade world wide. Pirates in Somalia have made it clear that they do not want anyone in their waters, or it will mean trouble for the by passers.…

    Universal Motors Aquires

    The Universal Motor Company is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of automobiles and trucks. In 1980, purchase content was 65 percent of the cost of goods sold. The supply management organization was well managed and staffed with seasoned, well-educated professionals (for the time period). During the late 1970s, the U.S. government began addressing the air pollution issue by establishing vehicle emissions standards and corporate average fuel consumption targets for vehicles sold in the United States. The auto industry was faced with major technical problems. The U.S. government-mandated standards could not be achieved with available technology. These…

    Container in-Security Initiatives

    DRAFT Rev 0 Container In-Security Initiatives: Getting Risk-Based Supply Chain Security Right “I believe that we should treat every container destined to enter or pass through the United States as a potential weapon of mass destruction; every ship that carries it as a delivery device; and every port and point inland as a potential target”, Rob Quartel, chairman and CEO of Freightdesk Technologies and former member of the U.S. Federal Maritime Commission told the Government Affairs Committee of the U.S. Senate on 6 December 2001.1 The emergence of a terrorist threat to the United States of America has directed the attention of security professionals and politicians alike to the vulnerability of the supply chain to terrorist attacks, be it as a target of or a conduit for such attacks. The response has been a flurry of security initiatives led by the U.S. Most of these take a risk-based approach to supply chain security. The new security measures have been adopted and implemented with varying degrees of enthusiasm by U.S. trade partners. One reason for the muted response is that the U.S. focus on terrorism has transformed the perception of supply chain security from making it more “theft-proof” to making it more “tamperresistant“. The two issues are not as complementary as they seem to be at first glance, but that will not be the object of this discussion. Thus, I will be leaving aside the arguably more tangible problem of cargo theft and cargo diversion. Instead I will discuss the merits of actual and planned measures for the increased and targeted screening of containerised cargo in the context of counter-terrorism. Another issue I will focus on is the implementation of a preferential treatment system for “trusted” or otherwise vetted, certified, or approved-of shippers and participants in the global supply chain. This is actually a manifestation of the riskbased screening and inspection approach and is a recurring theme in the various container security…

    Logistics

    1.) Ikea case: (the 3 main topics) a. Competition between suppliers The structure of Ikeas logistic creates a high competition between their suppliers. It is because Ikea is subdivided into (many) Trading Areas, which compete for the commissions the headquarters of Ikea (Ikea of Sweden) gives. Each Trading Area tries to find the best thus cheapest solution for producing and delivering a product, so each of them negotiate with their suppliers and make an offer to the headquater of Ikea. Of course the headquarters (IOS) pick the cheapest combination of producing and delivering (logistics). That is the way the headquarters of Ikea find the cheapest manufacture for their products, including transport and all the other logistic costs. This fits into Ikeas cost leadership strategy. As a second result the Trading Areas plus the suppliers are in a competition, which makes them very efficient. b. Long term orientation Ikea tries to have long contracts with their suppliers. They grant their suppliers a lot of advantages. Ikea shares their knowledge and experience in logistics with them. If a supplier could not deliver a product as cheap as Ikea wants, Ikea helps the supplier to reduce costs. They prefer doing that instead of changing the supplier, it shows the long term orientation of Ikeas supply chain. Ikea is very connected to their suppliers. From the prospective of the suppliers it is a good thing because they can also make long term plans or investments. Ikea helps their suppliers with Investments as well, if they could not make the investment. Ikea gives them financial security for the future. This leads the suppliers to accept a lower price for the products paid by Ikea, than they could get from another customer. So Ikea is again able to lower the cost, which matches again Ikeas cost leadership strategy. c. Bypassing distribution Centers The last logistic issue that explains Ikeas cost leadership is that they mostly skip the distribution…
